Unofficial as yet but I am told he has gone, owing to 'financial reasons'.
DD is being touted as his replacement.
Discuss.......

Initial reactions... - yer what? - I'm hardly Patterson's greatest admirer, but replacing him with an untried coach? Risky.... - if it truly is financially-motivated - is this the long-expected sign that Bob Philips is ready to ditch the Devils?

Hmmmm...... a potentially worrying/serious situation in Cardiff that doesn't seem to have elicited any serious response in these parts.

Very strange turn of events if true.
If he has gone for financial reasons then is BP having cash flow problems? And what impact will this have on a certain team just up the M1?

Hmmmm...... a potentially worrying/serious situation in Cardiff that doesn't seem to have elicited any serious response in these parts. Probably because there's not actually any hard information to go on yet... all hell could break loose tomorrow when this 'announcement' is made.... Jono72 said:- If it is financial (and that's a big 'if') then I'd be surprised if there was any impact on Sheffield. Let's face it - having one man own two clubs (regardless of whatever technicalities may be touted, that's what it is) is crazy - and everyone surely has to know it, including Bob Philips himself. If he's got any kind of brains, he'll be looking to concentrate on just one - and which one is likely to be the most financially secure for him? Sheffield. I truly hope that I'm wrong about this, but I see this as being a possible indication that BP is looking to reduce his financial burden and concentrate on just one team... which doesn't sound good for Cardiff. I really, REALLY hope that's not the case....

I really, REALLY hope that's not the case.... right Firstly Shaggy its Miriani Phillips who owns the devils shes the one organising the troops on match night she is the one in the office day in day out on the phones sorting out players problems etc. Sure bob isnt a ghost but Miriani doesnt get the credit she deserves. Secondly for a family (and bob) who many believe are ready to ditch the Devils at the drop of the hat why didnt thye do it in September when we were losing money through the nose and we were suffering with delay after delay on the new rink? hell we knew before a puck wsa dropped we wouldnt be in there till October (the then openeing date) we could have folded and Bob could have dedicated his whole family's bussiness to Sheffield but guess what he didnt. Miriani kept going with her family to keep us going. Again this desicion should highlight the Phillips family 100% commitment to the Cardiff Devils, it wasnt an easy desicion to release the guy that stuck by them but they did it because in their opinion its the best thing to do to keep this hockey club going. And i for one am bloody greatful they did.

Am I going to be the first one to suggest we approach Patterson?
Sure, we have a head coach, but he could be a playing assistant. Ed can still cut it. Admittedly, if we wanted to win things, GM might have to pop into Wilkos' for a roll of gaffer tape but what a mid-season signing that would be.
